Anyone else get a LOUD "pop" when making a phone call?
Quite often, when i'm making a call via bluetooth, i get a loud "pop" sound that sounds exactly like a large rock hitting the windshield. Scares the Sh!!t outta me every single time...

No issues via Bluetooth or WiFi (CarPlay).

I know exactly the kind of thing you're talking about. I've had this in one of my other cars, but never in the BMW. First thing is to make sure it's actually the car giving you the problem i.e. try another phone, reset Bluetooth on the phone, etc.

This happens on occasion when I use waze. Never on calls. I almost always use the OEM nav so mostly forgot about it.

Try deleting bluetooth pairing and re-pair with car. if that doesn't help, take car to dealer. Let them know this popping is unacceptable. Likely they'll do an iStep upgrade which will upgrade firmware on your Nav. Hopefully that fixes it.
A family member has a 2017 G30 and had all sorts of Bluetooth issues, like screeching when making first call after starting car.... Dealer did iStep upgrade and that fixed it.

I deleted the phone, added it back, happened 2-3 times today already. It's only when I make calls or listen to voicemails in the car. It scares the crap out of me every time! I'm almost afraid to make a call...

Next stop is dealer. Be vigilant and complain. Mention them checking iStep version on car. Very likely they'll upgrade it because that's typically first thing BMWNA asks dealers to do.
